If it is a domesticated and ornamental Magikarp, it is normal for them to be unwilling to evolve if they are taken care of by humans.
But wild Magikarp are different. Magikarp is one of the weakest Pokémon.
There are not only Magikarp in Lake of Rage, but also Goldeen. Even a level 55 Magikarp is probably not as good as a level 20 Goldeen.
So if Magikarp can evolve, it will definitely choose to evolve.
There is also the phenomenon of jumping the mountain in Lake of Rage. This Magikarp has lived here for so long and must have seen it.
Gary doesn't believe that Magikarp will not be envious when it sees its own kind evolve into Gyarados.
"Rrrrr!"
Hearing Gary's words, Gyarados opened its eyes, squirmed its body, and a stone fell out from the gap between Gyarados's scales.
Gary looked at the stone that fell out, and it was an Everstone.
It seems that Gyarados itself wants to evolve, and it didn't evolve because of the Everstone.
Although Gyarados has evolved now, it probably listened to Gary's words and thought about how it felt like it hadn't evolved in all these years, and it seemed that it was all because of carrying the Everstone.
Gary smiled and put his hand on Gyarados and taught it the Iron Tail skill.
"Roar!"
Gyarados suddenly felt that a new skill had awakened and looked at Gary with a suspicious look.
"I'll teach you another one." Gary showed an unfathomable smile and taught Gyarados the Rest skill.
Gyarados: (O_O)??(QAQ)!!
"This is my ability. I can teach you more skills in the future. Follow me, and you won't suffer any loss." Gary said as he patted Gyarados's solid body and taught it the remaining skills.
Gyarados's intimacy also increased from 75 to 135, which was enough to make Gyarados listen to him.
Gyarados was also confused. Awakening 6 new skills at once scared it.
It only awakened a bunch of skills at once when it evolved today. [I suddenly felt that Gary in front of me was very abnormal.]
"Eat something."
Gary took out two purple energy cubes, each of which was the size of a fist. These were Gary's special satiety energy cubes, specially prepared for big-eating Pokémon.
"Rrrrr(Huh?)" Gyarados looked at the two energy cubes in Gary's hand and was very confused.
These two small things were not enough for it now not to mention its current state, even its previous state was not enough.
Gary didn't care about that and approached Gyarados directly, throwing the two energy cubes into Gyarados's mouth.
Gyarados didn't refuse. After all, it had just evolved and fought a battle, so it was already hungry.
It directly swallowed the energy cubes. The next moment, Gyarados's belly bulged, and it felt full.
"Huh?"
Gyarados was also surprised. It didn't expect that it would feel full after eating two small pieces of food. It even felt a little bloated.
"It seems that I need to reduce the number of energy cubes." Gary looked at Gyarados's swollen belly and knew that he had fed too many energy cubes.
He only needed to feed one energy cube in the future.
This was mainly because Gyarados's physique was larger than that of other Gyarados of the same level.
Gary prepared one more energy cube. It seemed that Gyarados's appetite was not as good as Snorlax's.
"Come in."
After dealing with Gyarados, Gary took back all the Pokémon that were placed outside.
Although Gyarados's intimacy with Gary was not full, the intimacy value of 135 was enough, and it could be gradually improved in the future.
"I don't know if this will interfere with anything." Gary said to himself.
According to the normal plot development, Lance would come here to stop Team Rocket's plan and capture the Shiny Gyarados.
Now, the Shiny Gyarados has been subdued by Gary, and Tyson has also been driven away by Gary.
The other party is unlikely to continue the experiment here.
However, as long as this matter does not affect Ash's journey, it doesn't matter.
Speaking of Ash, Gary thought of the theater version of "Celebi: Time Travel," where Celebi brought Professor Oak to the present when he was a child.
However, Gary didn't remember the specific location very clearly, but this matter concerns Professor Oak's safety.
As Professor Oak's grandson, it is not good to ignore this matter, at least to ensure Professor Oak's safety.
Although the specific location is not clear, the approximate location can still be determined.
At that time, Ash had collected 8 Johto Region Badges and was on the way to Silver Town, and then passed through a forest, so the location should be near Mt. Silver. If he asks about it, he should be able to find it.
If this can't be found, Gary can only pray that there will be no accidents in the plot, so as to avoid his grandfather.
However, Ash is different now. Although he is still breeding new Pokémon, his overall strength is definitely much stronger than in the original plot.
"I don't know what kind of rewards will be given by the system task triggered by challenging the Silver Conference this time." Gary was curious.
After a day of rest, Gary went to the Mahogany Gym.
The Mahogany Gym is also an ecological park for Ice-type Pokémon to survive. There are a lot of Ice-type Pokémon captured by Pryce.
When he arrived at the entrance of the gym, the system issued a task.
[Ding! Issued task: Get Mahogany Gym Badge/Reward: Intermediate Rare Candy x6, Ice Punch Permanent Skill Learning Device, Top-quality Never-Melt Ice (Ice Skill Power Increased by 50%) x1!]
"It's a pity it would be better if it was Ice Beam." Gary wanted Ice Beam more.
Although Ice Punch is also good, Blastoise currently lacks special attack Ice skills.
Gary wants to make his Blastoise more comprehensive.
"Hey, young man, where did you come from? You are not a kid from the town."
At this time, the gym door opened, and an old lady stood inside.
Although the old lady's hair was not white, the wrinkles on her face betrayed her age.
Gary remembered that the old lady in front of him seemed to be Pryce and the Pokémon who was also responsible for taking care of the gym.
"Yes, I am from Pallet Town, and I am here to challenge the gym." Gary explained his purpose.
"Is that so? Then come with me. Pryce is in the gym." The old lady took Gary into the ecological room in the gym.
There are many Ice-type Pokémon in the room, but they are all repeated. There are only five types of Ice-type Pokémon: Seel, Dewgong, Shellder, Cloyster, and Lapras.
There is an old man in a shirt, watching the Pokémon inside. This man is the owner of the Mahogany Gym, Pryce.
"Isn't it cold?"
Looking at Pryce, who was wearing thin clothes, Gary didn't understand what kind of physique Pryce had.
The temperature in the room was below zero. Even Gary, a Mega Rookie, felt a little cold.
